Maeda Shell Service Co., Ltd.

We offer air filters that independently remove water, oil, and particulates.

Our main operation is the production of air filters for compressed air, but we also sell urethane hammers, linings, and dimension lumber. Our air filter contains 3 filtration elements to independently remove water, oil, and particulates. It reduces pressure loss, while suppressing the proliferation of microorganisms with the adoption of an antibacterial element.

[Company strength]
Our main operation is the compressed air filter business. Our company manufactures and sells more than 5 series and 50 types of high-performance air filters. We cater to a wide range of requests and applications in factories for automobiles and machinery, food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, electronic devices, and semiconductors. We have an 8-step service system with an integrated workflow to ensure that we realize the goal of a stable supply of ultra-clean air.
[Business description]
Our mainline business is to manufacture and sell air filters for purifying compressed air. We manufacture and sell urethane-made hammers, linings, and standard materials in our chemicals business. We also manufacture and sell cutting-edge materials and equipment. These include electroless plating agents, Inline Magnum (to adsorb and remove cutting debris from cutting fluids), LLFA tape (to stop air or water leakage), and Stop Odor (to prevent odors). We also offer carbon-fiber canes, nanofiber non-woven cloth, and CFOAM (carbon foam).
[Industry]
Machine and tool manufacturing and sales
[Strength of products/technologies]
Our air filter is characterized by its 3 filtration elements. This means that you can remove all three elements of water, oil, and particulates with a single unit. A transparent polycarbonate body is also available in addition to the standard aluminum body, if you need to observe the dirt on the elements. There are cotton elements and hollow fiber elements, and with the latter you can remove particulates and mist that are as small as 0.01 µm. You can realize low pressure loss with the accumulation of the cotton material, or suppress the proliferation of microorganisms with an antibacterial element.
[Representative's message]
We hope to expand our sales channels by cultivating and expanding sales in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, where the safety and security of air quality is strongly required. We will do this while enhancing our existing base in the automobile, machinery, and electric and electronics industries. We intend to upgrade our high-performance filters by incorporating new functionalities, such as hollow fibers, nano fibers, and absorption, antibacterial and deodorant properties. We also intend to expand our 8-step service system for further expansion. We are gradually receiving inquires after participating in overseas exhibitions, so we feel that it is time to set up overseas sites.
[Company structure for market development/overseas expansion]
We are focusing all our resources on improving and innovating our manufacturing process, and establishing a solid quality assurance system to ensure customer satisfaction. We have sales offices all over Japan to establish a type of sales and service system that can make swift responses. We plan to apply the same approach and organizational framework to overseas expansion.
